Fishing in NY was a wonderful relaxing time.
Saturday, 3 of the kids kept me company at the cabin.
Laura, Russell and Emily.
I pulled out my Art Bag and Daily and went to town.
I am a great multi tasker when it comes to doodling!
I showed the girls my work and my supplies.
I brought some 6x6 Stencilgirl stencils
and some blank post cards.
We chatted and visited and the girls got to work.
We used a huge variety of pens and markers
and Neocolor II crayons and Twinkling H2O's.
It was fun to watch them work.
I didn't give them any guidance.
They just played and experimented.

Some of these post cards are ready to go...
Others may be a background.
We'll see.
These little projects are perfect for traveling.
They are compact and flexible.
A great way to experiment.
Life is Good!

Janet this is such a great post! I plan on getting some of those stencils. They seem like they would be such a great idea starter for a new journal keeper! Glad you are enjoying summer!!!!

ReplyDeleteLove playing with my granddaughter girlies too......sharing that art making tradition is so important and letting them feel free to find their own voices. Nice choice of the stencils. Love what you did, of course, looks at all those doodles.........xox

ReplyDeleteYou know how to vacation! Time spent with family and arting together! Best way to spend the summer- and on top of it you all created some fantastic inspiration for the rest of us!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your vacation style! My kids and grandkids have enjoyed many enjoyable hours artmaking together. And your results are fantastic, so colorful and unique! Do you have a good source for the Strathmore watercolor postcards? I've had a hard time finding them in my usual art/crafts stores.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy. Thanks for the kind words. My girls have always loved doing art! I found the Strathmore Watercolor Postcards at Blick's in Columbus,Ohio. Have you checked the Strathmore website or Amazon?
